Level 98 Hybrid Incinerate Elementalist^3.18

Notes

When leveling, start with lightning tendrils and then you can switch to Incinerate if you want right after The Siren's Cadence quest in which Incinerate is a reward.

When you can, you want to perform the following recipe twice:

Magic Wand - Orb of Alteration - Ruby ring.


The weapon must be of magic rarity.
Normal ring - tier 8 damage mod - level requirement 8
Magic ring - tier 7 damage mod - level requirement 14
Rare ring - tier 6 damage mod - level requirement 20

This will provide you a spell damage wand with a single stat of "adds fire damage to spells".  If you dual wield these, your leveling experience will be significantly smoother.

As you level, simply add in the skills as they become available to you.    You won't be able to use all the auras because of mana constraints while leveling.  
Just turn on those that you want (either defense or offense).


============================

Order to take the asendency: 

1) Mastermind of Discord

2) Heart of Destruction

3) Shaper of Storms

4) Bastion of Elements

=================

Use a fully leveled Molten Shell on left mouse button.  It is not intended to be used with the CWDT set up.  Either don't link it with CWDT or level it past the 
point where CWDT can effect it.

=================

To fit in all the aura's, almost every piece of the tree including Cluster Jewels is needed.
If you can't afford Enlighten level 4, just turn off Definace Banner and use Vaal Haste instead.  All other auras will fit in when the tree is filled out.

================

When searching for your Skin of the Lords, keep an eye out for these helpful keystones (also don't take Keystones that are actively bad for the build like 
Elemental Overload,  Resolute Techniques, Chaos Innoc etc.  Ask in thread if you are not sure)

Pain Attunement: looks great because it saves tree points.

Divine Shield and Glancing Blows: Each saves 1 tree point

Iron Reflexes:  Gives us a nice chunk of armor, and synergizes with Molten Shell (this is what this POB uses)

Unwavering Stance: This allows for more cluster jewel choices as we don't have to worry about stun immunity any more. Depending on your resists, 
it may also free up some tree points near Practical Application

Iron Will: DPS boost

Use Skin of the Loyal until you can afford Skin of the Lords

=================

For map Mods, avoid at all cost "no regen".    Avoid ele reflect until you get your 4th lab point. 

Obviously reduced block chance is a tricky one as well since the whole build is based on blocking.

=================

To help sustain mana while channeling Incinerate look for (or craft on bench) a mod on one ring that has "Channeling Skills have -4 to mana cost"

==================

Before you can afford Aegis Aurora, just use any shield you can find that has at least 30% block (which is what Cerberus Limb weapon requires).

=================

If you want to go a little more offensive, you can swap Vaal Haste to Unset ring and then switch Inexorable anoint to Whispers of Doom and add in Elemental Weakness
